kota Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You would have to be a fool to not understand that social inequality is very much alive in the US. At this day and age it's really sad. If we are to ever advance as species this needs to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) This crap can wait until the off season when there plenty of time for people to cry that they were mistreated. Can the babies wait until after mid February can we just focus on football. . "Mommy, those bad men treated me bad and called me names. It's not fair! Lets protest."

kota Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 people are people....do the right thing. having 9 kids from 9 women. aint workng. burning and looting your neighbor's store aint working. notice i did not mention a color etc...people need to grow the f@@@ up and do right by each other. when a cop says stop...do it Good lord. This is the problem. You didn't have to mention skin color but everyone knows what you are talking about. These issues you speak of stem from poverty. Minorities do not have the same opportunities as others. It's a fact. There is a reason why the Rooney rule exists. http://www.stateofworkingamerica.org/fact-sheets/poverty/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't realize it because you don't know what the end result really looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 inequality has existed since Cain & Able and WILL ALWAYS exist. Instead of blaming people for your so called "inequality", how about you over come it. There are many examples of people who have including ALL NFL players. Please just play ball, the Bills struggle with that alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) i just hope our kicker , with all his good intentions.. gets his sh%t together.. a miss in the opener, one off the crossbar last week.. if he keeps that up, he can work full time for his cause.. i follow the Bills for football reasons.. the noble stuff is fine.. but really not in my wheelhouse on here.

metzelaars_lives Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Of course it exists and it'll always exist. It's human nature. Best way to get over it is if people just treat other people with respect and dignity until they do something not to warrant that respect. I don't particularly care for NFL players speaking about this stuff. Just focus on your kicks Agreed 100%. JJ Watt should have kept his mouth shut after Harvey too and stuck to his tackling.

White Linen Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Of course it still exists. However it's never mentioned that things are better and that minorities have more opportunity to get out of their situation now then ever in history. This is partly because a lot of minorities have seen this and taken advantage of it and that white people have changed. The problem is that as things have gotten better there has also been more and more freedom to express displeasure by minorities without persecution (good thing). However those voices of displeasure have overshadowed and drowned out the good work America has done in this area. So when a non minority keeps getting beat down as if we do so very very little it's frustrating and it leads to wanting to do less. Non minorities have to incessantly admit their faults while minorities rarely have to admit theirs. It's not acceptable to be a white bigot publicly in America (good thing)- however you can be a bigot as a minority with little backlash. White people have been forced to accept this change in our culture. Some accept it with compassion and others accept it only because it's forced. I do believe that if minorities accepted more responsibility for their part - white people in equal numbers would change their hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisonbrigade Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 So. Ignorant. Ugh. Give one example of inequality, just one. One does not affected every race, creed and people. Seriously grow some balls and man up. Protesting is for children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's a legitimate issue and it's great that rich athletes that are sometimes seen as aloof and selfish are actually concerned about important social issues. Sports and politics have often been intertwined. Our children will be better people than our generation. A few years ago my son referred to a classmate as the girl with the long hair- not the black girl. I was very encouraged by that. Skin color is not the first thing our children look at. I must chime in (reluctantly) to agree with this post. My White/native american children, (one gay) do not give a phuk about skin color, and I love it!!! My next door neighbor's on one side are black (best neighbor's ever) the other side is Asian (Burmese: love them too). I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
